What's is the difference?

Excuse from Jury Service

You may request to be excused from jury service for a temporary condition that makes it difficult or impossible to
serve. Common reasons include active military service and recovery from major surgery.

Employment Information

Hardship on your employer does not excuse you from jury service.

Hardship because you are the sole proprietor of a business does not excuse you from jury service.

Hardship because your employer does not pay you for your time absent from work performing jury service does
not excuse you from jury service.

You may request that your jury service be postponed to a more convenient time for these reasons, but you will
not be excused from jury service for these reasons.

Employers are not required by law to pay their employees regular salary when on jury duty, although some do.
